Re: Price competition is there...they just don't advertise.

If you have Comcast and call them and tell them you are planning to switch to FIOS they will give you very good pricing. I'm reasonably certain that when my FIOS contract expires in a year, they will do the same if I tell them I am switching back to Comcast. Heavy Reading survey aside, the reality is that they are willing to compete on price...they just don't do it publicly. The jury is still out on how lasting this will be as part of their strategy to win and retain customers. Competition hasn't been the reality in enough areas for a long enough period of time to determine this yet.
Good idea, except for the 80 percent of people who don't have FIOS

That's certainly true, but the topic is will competition lower prices...obviously if there is no competition in a given area this doesn't apply
